Cigarette

Didn’t know they smoked in Canada. Very grainy

They smoke everywhere! Of course a pack of smokes in Canada will make you dig for some loons.

This fellow seems very well dressed for cold weather...looks intelligent....what did you chat about?

I wondered about the angle on this and another of your images... realized it might be harder to level up, which might lead to a graphic distraction and, more importantly, take time away from the relationship.'

'What does "scan for now" mean?

yes I shot this fairly quickly and didn't level it out. I presented this full frame instead of cropping it 'level'.
Scan For Now means I'd like to print this in my darkroom but haven't yet...so for now it's a scan of the negative to present here.

As I recall, we didn't chat for long as he had to go catch a bus. Basically small talk, weather, and he asked me about taking pictures and my camera.

IMO small talk is more important than photos... I don't know how you could have cropped that "level"...was imagining the footwork necessary to photograph it that way (I tend to be obsessive about that...looks better your way).
